Did you know that 1 in 12 people in the U.S. have asthma? 

 

Asthma is very common in children and adults

Do you have asthma? 🫁

 

Do your children or other family members have asthma? 

 

Or is there friend, neighbor, or colleague who has asthma? 

 

I have asthma - and so do all three of my adult children We also have siblings, and nieces and nephews with asthma. 

Asthma doesn't just run in our family.......it gallops!

 

It's been a rocky 25 years since the first of my children was diagnosed with asthma. 

 

Luckily, there are new asthma inhalers on the market. And there are 6 biologics now available to treat those with severe asthma. 

If you are coughing, wheezing, and short of breathe on a regular basis - call your doctor. There are a lot of inhalers on the market. You may need to try a few until the find the one that works for your type of asthma and your body
